Deadline I won't make

I realized today that I won't have this film done in time. I've been trying to pull it together but since my teacher has been sick, my rapport has to get finished and on top of it all the sound to all my clips from the trip disappeared today and I have no idea why. I won't have it done by next Wednesday which is the deadline for our projects.

Since I have to hand in the report in time otherwise I will fail this class I've decided to put all my energy in to that at the moment. When I'm done with that I will focus on putting together the film (if I can get the sound back). Instead of trying to do both at the same time and do them half good I think it's better to do them one by one.

Wish me luck and thank you so much for reading!

Editing!

Getting some more material right now and then it's time for editing!

Long way home!

Started our looong journey home yesterday at 1 pm. It's now 7.20 pm and I'm two hours away from Gothenburg were I will spend the night. Will be back home tomorrow afternoon. This trip has been so crazy and fun. I hope I have enough material to put together some sort of film (having a little bit of trouble with some clips that I can't do anything about...). Maybe need to shoot some more when I get back home, luckily there is going to be an quite big event at the skatepark this weekend!

Last days

Going home tomorrow afternoon so trying to enjoy the last day. We have all fallen in love with this place and are already planing on coming back!

Had planned to do an interview with one of the schools head teacher but had no time (been pretty sick this last few days...). Hope that I will be able to put together some sort of film anyway.

Skate School

Had skateschool with all the different classes all day yesterday. It was really hard but really fun. I think the kids enjoyed it so much and I´m so glad for that! Now I´m getting ready for a last visit at the school. We have been invited to participate on the kids athletes day. They will compete for books, "project skateboard" t-shirts and stickers!

JAMBO!!!

Went to the school for the little older kids today. We met with the head teacher Judah this past Monday and got to the school just when the kids were lining up at the field next to the school. They all screamed Jambo! when we stepped out of the car and were really sweet and so full of energy!!

I told them a little bit about myself and then had a little preformance to show what skateboarding is. They all screamed and were super excited for our next visit on Thursday. Then I will have a more proper skateschool and hand out the boards and stickers. On Friday we will join the kids for their athletes day and give away t-shirts for the ones preforming the best, in both physical and theoretical.

All the smiles that I got today made all this hard work worth it!

Monday

Got a call from the schools headmaster Juda today that he wanted to meet us. So a little after 4 me, Emily, Elinor and Rory took a taxi to Nakumatt to meet him. He was really sweet and we´re gonna make our first REAL school visit tomorrow at around 3. On Wednesday we have a snorkelling trip planned but we'll go back on Thursday again! Hope to get ahold of Volker before nighttime so I can get a knife so I can put together all the boards! Oh there he came, I will get my knife.. Sweet!

FPFK School, Jogoo Ground, Ukunda

Went to my first school today! Didn't bring anything since I wanted to meet the kids and teachers first. They sang for us and then the teacher showed us around. It amazing to see the difference from Sweden. Here they start school at age 3 and have school from 8- 16, everyday.

Going back on Monday with everything!


We came just when the kids had their lunch time!
